Flying to London Today.. wanted to drop a hello.

Hello, none of you have most likly have never seen me on the boards before. Let me introduce myself... Sw.. well, most people just call me Tessa.

Today I'm hopping onto a plane, and heading to London. I'm absultly excited because this is the first time I've been there.

So... just a question.. where are some comic book/action figure places? My dad's been here before and got me a figure, yet it was JarJar...
If anyone could give me a short writen tour of prime Star Wars areas in London, that'd be great!

Thanks in advance!

 

I generally pick up my comics and collectables online.

There is/was a Forbidden Planet in London - New Oxford Street. Nearest tube is Tottenham Ct Road I believe? Unless its closed down?

Other people probably know of other places.

This [link=http://www.comics-international.com/Directory/comics_shops_uk.html#centrallondoncomicshops] link [/link] gives a few other comic shops.

 

It's still there... but the selection of shops isn't as large as you think it would be for a city that size...

Oh and enjoy the weather, it's actually being good for once

 

I've sent you a list of a few places, I hope they help

 

I think Forbidden Planet has closed down. Me and Stuey couldn't find it anywhere when we were in London.

 

It's still open was there recently.

Was you there on a sunday because they are closed on sundays.

 

No, it was a weekday... Hmmmm. I'll have to go up to London again sometime

 

hmm strange it was open last week

I dont know perhaps they just decided to be difficult

 

Probably....

Most difficult, comic store, eveerrrrrrr.

 

You're coming to the Flugtag are you not Luke? If you do come for the weekend you could mooch about then, but its no more different than any other comic shop you've ever seen.

Last time I went into a FP (Edinburgh) I very nearly bought a Japanese import cuddly plush Jawa.

 

Only difference is FP is normally more expensive

 

Since when have SW nerds worried about paying over the odds for plastic tat?

 

I have to agree there

So did you get your trooper suit then

*Runs away before she gets lynched*

 

Thats the point!

 

Hi gang

How long are you staying for Tessa...

 

D'you think the Edinburgh FP would notice if I nicked the Japanese import cuddly Ewok? £44.99 is too much for a teddy bear...

I don't know many shops in London cos 'someone' would only take me to HMV

 

Not much point me writing this as you'll be on a plain by now, but i hope you enjoy your time in London sw-starwarsfreakness!

 

I dunno... I must be mad

 

That is a possability Lukey!

 

It's the company I keep that does it

 

Hahahaha must be.

 

Luke, we were looking for Hollywood Superstore, that has closed down. FP is till up and running (to my knowledge) but i've only ever been in the Cardiff one

 

Well why didn't we go to FP instead?

Jeez Leweeese!
